My Portraits (Gregorio Vigil-Escalera)

Even if the sources of her artistic identity fall into the lines of the most tortured modernity – abstract expressionism, surrealism, neo-expressionism, etc. -, her portraits conform to a glimpsed and sketched definition in accordance with very precise esthetic values which are no less devastated in their candor and depth. If she does them like that, it is to subconsciously betray herself, observing herself like an unknown who makes sure not to close nor to reduce a figure but to open it, rummage in its spirit, in its memory, its feelings and in the emotional condition of its work. As Arshile Gorky said: “Dreams are the bristles of the artist’s brush”
